Jutiapa, formerly Tepeahua, city, north-central El Salvador, at the foot of Mt. Platinar (1,200 ft [370 m]). The original name, Tepeahua, was derived from a Nahuatl expression meaning “mountain of the oak trees.” A short distance away is a 130-ft (40-m) waterfall on the Río Cristóbal, and there are traces of an ancient city at the nearby locality of Los Remedios. Jutiapa became a city in 1879. Its principal industries are dairy products and lime; gold and silver mines situated within the boundaries of the municipality are no longer exploited. Jutiapa is connected by road with Sensuntepeque. Pop. (2006) 7,891.
